Badjelánnda

About This Movie

Badjelánnda is a thought-provoking documentary that unfolds through Juvva Pittja's evocative poetry. It immerses you in the stark beauty of the Arctic landscape while giving a voice to the challenges faced by the Sámi minority. What’s striking here is the raw, unfiltered portrayal of their connection to nature, contrasting beautifully with the encroaching threats of climate change and commercialization. The pacing feels contemplative, allowing the viewer to absorb the poignant visuals and the gravity of the situation. You get a sense of urgency but also a deep respect for tradition and the land. It’s not just about the facts; it’s about the emotional weight of those facts, captured through a very personal lens.
